  1. (sorry, bad english)

    With Avidemux I cut out a small clip from a big video file.
    Then I save the clip.

    MKV with x264: height=1280 width=536 Bitrate=2000

    Avidemux:
    Mpeg4 AVC (x264)
    Average Bitrate (Two Pass) = 1500
    No video filter.
    -> Result: video size = 50 MB (Mediainfo shows: 1280x536 and Bitrate 1500)

    Avidemux:
    Mpeg4 AVC (x264)
    Average Bitrate (Two Pass) = 1500
    Filter swsResize: height=640 width=272
    -> Result: video size = 50 MB (Mediainfo shows: 640x272 and Bitrate 1500)

    Why is this the same size? I don't understand this.

    Please, can anyone help me?

    assuming you mean "file size" ?

    because you used the same bit rate ?

    1500 is NOT a large bit rate it is a small/low bit rate

    the overall quality of the video frames is going to be better/higher with the small frame vrs the large frame

    in other words your bit rate is too low for the original size clip cut/edit

    your size is the same for each video clip, because you are using the bare minamum bit rate, it really can;t compress any smaller

    just my opinion, maybe i am wrong

    Yes, I mean file size.
    I run Avidemus two times (input is a mkv with 1280x536, bitrate 2000, file size 5 GB).
    Run 1: 1280x536
    Run 2: 640x272
    And both output files are 50 MB.

    As said, frame size does NOT affect file size.

    File size = run length * Bit Rate.

    So if Bit Rate stays the same then so does the file size.

    As mentioned, downsizing the res does not affect the file size. However, downsizing should give you better quality at the same bit rate.

  6. OK.
    Thank you for your answers.
